Tatabanya is the favourite, but we certainly won’t give up, said Ivan Džolić, coach of Izviđač, after the handball champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina won the semi-finals of the EHF European Cup for the second year in a row against the Czech Karvina.
After being in Ljubuški the first match of the quarter-finals of the EHF European Cup ended with the victory of Scouts 36:31, in Sunday’s rematch in the Czech Republic, the Karvina team reached 34:29 after 60 minutes of play, so the decision was made by the sevens in which the Scouts were more successful.
Scout is like that reached the semi-finals for the second year in a row EHF European Cup, in which they were defeated by the Greek AEK last season, while this time on the other side of the floor will be the Hungarian team Tatabanya.
We will meet the third-placed team of the Hungarian championship. They are right behind in the table Pick Szeged and Veszprem, which speaks volumes about their quality. It is a really strong and experienced team with a large number of international players and national team members, we have a tough job ahead of us – pointed out Džolić.
He emphasized that Scout deservedly made it to the semi-finals and that he hopes that he will manage to win the grand final in the second tied attempt.
The first match will be played 25/26 April in Ljubuški, and in return 2./3. May in Tatabanya.
The first match is in Ljubuški, which can be an advantage if we fill the hall and create pressure. Tatabanya is the favourite, but we will certainly not give up. It will be a great motivation to try to make a favorable result in the first game and ultimately make a miracle, Dzolic concluded.
